The Eagles cut Nichols from their practice squad Tuesday. Nichols had just signed to Philadelphia's practice squad last Thursday, but he didn't stick around long. The second-year running back hasn't yet made his NFL debut after being selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft by Green Bay. Nichols is likely to seek an opportunity with a different organization.

No longer on Philly's practice squad
The Eagles cut Nichols from their practice squad Tuesday. Nichols had just signed to Philadelphia's practice squad last Thursday, but he didn't stick around long. The second-year running back hasn't yet made his NFL debut after being selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft by Green Bay. Nichols is likely to seek an opportunity with a different organization.
Back with Philadelphia
The Eagles signed Nichols to the practice squad Thursday. Nichols spent most of the 2023 regular season on the Eagles' practice squad after being let go with an injury settlement by the Packers in September of 2023. He failed to make Philadelphia's 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he will join the Eagles' practice squad after spending most of the 2024 campaign without a team. Shipley could be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys if third-string running back Will Shipley (concussion) is not cleared to play.
Cut by Eagles
Nichols was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Nichols signed a reserve/future contract with the Eagles in January, and he compiled 22 receiving yards on six catches while adding 30 rushing yards on 15 carries and 59 yards on three kickoff returns during the preseason. If he clears waivers, there's a good chance he joins Philadelphia's practice squad.
